Why does it say that Alfred app is in the background or get occupied (7011/7012)?

There are 2 possible reasons why you may not be able to access your Camera device from the Viewer side:

• Alfred has been terminated by the device in the background (7011)
• The previous live session did not end properly, causing the camera to get occupied (7011)
• Another app is using the device's camera function (7012)

All of these issues can only occur on Android devices.

There are a few tips on preventing and resolving 7011 and 7012 issues:

• Lock Alfred in the background (Android-only)
• Disable battery optimization for Alfred
• Don't press the power or home key
• Make sure no other app is using the camera function (e.g. taking photos, Skype, etc.)
• Apply additional settings if you're using Huawei, ASUS, OPPO, and Xiaomi device

If the issue continues to persist on your Camera device with version 2.0, we recommend reverting back to Camera version 1.0:

3. Lock the AlfredCamera app
